Indigo Renderer Forum

Hi everyone.

Fist of all, I'd like to thank the development team of this great renderer. It rocks.

Ok. This is my 1st serious try with Indigo. Sorry for the size of the rendering, but I ran it on my oldie PIV for 15+ hours to have a clean image. Bidir, MLT and Hybrid ON.

The lamp shade is a diffuse transparent material, but, as you may see, the glow from the light bulb can not be seen... can anyone suggest a workaround? (I tried it also with bidir off, but same result).

Any comments, suggestions & critics are more than welcome.

Nice looking scene. But for the lamp shade, I believe most people get the best results with a blend of Diffuse Transmitter and Diffuse or Phong . . . not sure though, since I haven't tried myself.

The only other issue obvious to me is scale. The scene looks like it could be a doll house. Try making the floor boards smaller/thinner, thin out the legs of the chairs, ands maybe shrink the texture on the bookshelf.

Yes... blend material. I haven't thought about it.... Thanks.

Thanks also for the advice on the scene.

turn Hybrid off - it's not needed and slows Indigo down quite a bit
Bidrectional MLT all the way

But yeah the scene does look a little small
